Henry Rollins: Spoken Word

Henry Rollins: Spoken Word
Junction 1, The

If Henry Rollins were a question on a multiple-choice quiz, the correct answer would be "D. All of the above." Best known to some as the frenetic frontman for punk rock legends Black Flag and later the Rollins Band, and to others for his sharp-tongued spoken performances, Henry Rollins is an actor and an author. He's a businessman and a philanthropist. He's a GRAMMY-nominated singer and a GRAMMY-winning spoken word artist. He's an ad pitchman, a USO veteran, a world traveler and a TV host. And above all else, he's a tireless performer, averaging more than 100 shows a year for the past two and a half decades.

Spoken Word
Henry followed up his show "Caught in the Zipper" - a two-week run at New York's Zipper Theater in March and April 2005 - with four shows in two nights at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, CA on April 15 and 16, 2005, with his share of the proceeds going to Hollygrove Children & Family Services in Los Angeles. In May 2005, he completed a sold-out and critically acclaimed tour in Australia. His most recent stint at New York's Town Hall became an IFC television special entitled "Uncut from NYC."

"25 Years of Bullshit" saw Henry celebrate his 25year history on the road with an extensive North American tour from August through November 2005 and into Australia and Europe during early 2006.

The Cambridge Free Improvisation Society - Live 19/06/08
Churchill College

If you've ever felt that the experimental music scene in Cambridge was a bit sparse, take this opportunity and come down to Churchill College Recital room for a concert of freely improvised music from the Cambridge Free Improvisation Society. The Society is an informal collective of Cambridge University students who gather to freely improvise as and when during term times. We've played a few concerts previously and have a myspace: http://www.myspace.com/cambridgeimprovisation
So far, the line-up for the concert is:
Joe Scott (trombone) Jo Davis (flute) David Currington (oboe) Jacken Waters (guitar) David Grundy (piano, laptop) Dan Larwood (guitar) Mardean Isaac (bass)
The gig starts at 8pm at Churchill College Recital Room (Map here - http://www.chu.cam.ac.uk/the_college/info/map_of_college.php). And, best of all, it's FREE to watch!
Previous gigs were a little bit sparsely attended, so please do make the effort to come down and see what happens. It should be an interesting evening!

    Preston Reed

    Preston Reed
    Mumford Theatre, The
    Drawing on blues, rock, funk and jazz influences among others, multi award winning musician Preston Reed weaves and melds genres, rhythms and textures to produce a signature sound that has earned him world renown for its emotional power and stylistic creativity. Playing an array of guitars from acoustic to electric to classical, Reeds vast range of explosively original music will forever change your expectation of a guitarist. Reed engages the entire instrument, creating a rock/jazz rhythm section, melody line and chordal accompaniment simultaneously. He riffs with the conviction and guts of a rock band, yet plays with the subtlety of that most delicate of jazz pianists, Bill Evans. There are no fancy gadgets or gimmicky FX - just 6 strings (or occasionally 12), two hands and a daring and innovative musical imagination that crosses all boundaries.
